Man arrested ‘for making series of racist Facebook posts’

Eric King, 63, pictured, has been arrested after allegedly posting a string of racist Facebook comments including that he would ‘have no worries about ending the life of any Muslim’

A man was arrested after allegedly posting a string of racist Facebook posts which said he had ‘no worries about ending the life of any Muslim’.

The statement appeared on the Facebook page of Eric King, 63, alongside other images including a video of a man urinating on the Quran.

Another post on the account said ‘Islam needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, if that means killing all Muslims, so be it’, above a shared post from Britain First regarding religion in Germany.

King then issued a full post on September 15, which has since been removed, airing his view on the matter.

It read: ‘Why are we being forced to except [sic] all these immigrants, they are the scum of the world I hate every one of them, I have no worries about ending the life of any Muslim, they are more than happy to end the lives of all white people, the day is coming when we the white true people of the UK will revolt and take the country back.’ 

King, of St Austell, Cornwall, refused to comment on the reaction to his posts.

Police said: ‘A 63-year-old man from St Austell was arrested on suspicion of publish threatening written material intending to stir up religious / sexual orientation hatred.

‘The suspect has now been released under investigation pending further inquiries to be carried out.’
